“The final product is STUNNING. It is a true centerpiece in my living room and I have received numerous complements on it so far. Kevin is super responsive and customized this down to the smallest detail for me--even “stress testing” it to ensure it could withstand my toddler climbing on top of it or spilling food on it. The construction is very high quality and this is even more beautiful in person. I am very happy with this purchase and the seller and would recommend his talents to anyone!” 

— BRIANA C. (Wine Crate Coffee Table)

“The table is beautiful and much better quality than anything I could have bought from a store. I gave Kevin a picture from pinterest and he put his engineering degree to use by taking that small bit of info and turning it into a complete design. He was very thoughtful about each piece of wood he used in the table and picked the ones with the best grains for the top. He cares about the details and it shows in the finished product.”

— SARAH D (Lift Top Coffee Table)

“Kevin did an amazing job on our set of custom cutting boards. We wanted one for ourselves and one as a gift to our parents. We worked with him to pick out the colors and shape of the letter we wanted worked into the pattern (in this case the letter D.) The process was so easy and the result is just beautiful. We leave the chopping board out as a statement/decorative piece when we are not using it. It would make a stunning addition to any kitchen. We take cooking very seriously so for us this is now a heritage piece we plan to pass down to our kids.”

My Promise

I only work with the best materials available and use primarily domestic and exotic hardwoods for durability. I rarely use stain, favoring natural beauty, but I will finish with varnish or mineral oil depending on end use. I never compromise quality for time and give my clients realistic schedules. I strive for honest customer service, so contracts are only paid in full when the finished work is to your complete satisfaction.

About Me

IMG_7248.JPG

MY NAME IS Kevin

Once upon a time, I got a degree in Mechanical Engineering, graduated during a recession, and found a good job, but I wasn't doing anything that resembled Engineering. A part of me regretted not using the skills I'd worked so hard on to earn that piece of paper.

I grew up watching Home Improvement, not realizing how much of a baller Al Borland was, so much skill, so much flannel, dude was ahead of his time. What started as a “hobby/creative outlet/homage to Al Borland" took on a life of its own building things my wife found on the interwebs. I started taking custom orders from friends, then friends of friends, friends of friends of friends, and some corporate jobs... Following the wisdom of Ron Swanson, “Never half-ass two things. Whole-ass one thing" and KraftedByEngineer was born.
